UFC on Versus 4 Results: Report Card for the Main Card Fighters

Sunday was full of drama, both inside and outside the Octagon. Yet another main event had to be scraped due to an, as of now, unknown medical issue surrounding Nate Marquardt. But leave it to the UFC to handle the situation, and still put on a very good card from top to bottom.

Inside the cage, we saw a former NFL player continue to climb the heavyweight ranks, a welterweight more than likely salvage his UFC career, another welterweight on the rise get derailed and one of the craziest fights we have all see in recent memory.

Now it is time to sit back, examine all the main card fighter's bodies of work and dish out some performance grades.

Matt Mitrione: B+

For only having five fights under his belt, "Meathead" is looking like he is becoming a fairly polished heavyweight prospect. Mitrione was able to out strike Morecraft, despite having a reach disadvantage.

And on top of that, Mitrione looked like he was having fun in the process. Another performance like this against someone along the likes of a Cheick Kongo and we will be calling Mitrione a contender instead of a prospect.

Charlie Brenneman: A-

So Brenneman was scheduled to fight T.J. Grant, but Grant got sick and was unable to fight. So Charlie stayed on weight so he could get his show money, only to be told on around a day notice that he would be fighting Rick Story.

Not only did he man up and take the fight, but he fought the fight of his life, much like Story did against Thiago Alves a month earlier. He controlled Story on the ground, held his own on the feet, and proceeded to grind his way to a decision victory.

It will be interesting to see what they decide to do with Brenneman next.
